Happy

There has been no doubt about Karunakarans brilliance. He has always amazed us with his brilliance, not to mention the many times he disappointed us with his incapability of handling screenplay at the right time, particularly at the end parts of the movie. Happy is a similar movie which has brilliance and also some truly unjustified scenes. Getting on with the review… Happy Story Buny(arjun) a pizza delivery boy ends up marrying Madhumati(Genelia) to avoid her getting married to another person as that would end her dream of becoming a doctor. The story is truly a genuine one, Karunakaran needs to be applauded for his innovative idea, the story is about a pair marrying to avoid the problem at stake. But they progressively realise they love each other. How they overcome the other elements involved forms rest of the story.

Happy Performances Allu Arjun is good in the movie, his histrionics are good, especially his emotional outburst towards the very end of the movie remain with us after the movie. His fights are better than his dances, his flexibility really leaves us in awe. His performance in the songs is truly gracefully. He will have a hard time meeting expectations as he has set such high standards in his dance and fight departments.

Genelia is beautiful in her more traditional chudidaars. But there is a problem with her character in the movie, she cries for the whole movie, Genelia is focused as a insecure character. Karunakaran failed in showing her as a bubbly, chirpy girl. He should have taken care as a girl who is mischievous and naughty in the movie remains in the audience heart for a long time than a girl who weeps all throughout the movie; of course she had her bits of brilliance but over all her performance is OK.

Other Cast members that need mention are Manoj Bajpai, which I thought was a pretty good casting. Rama Prabha, Tanikella Bharani, Suman Setty and Jahnavi are OK.

The Happy Technical team Karunakaran, the man behind happy has done a commendable job. His story, screen play and direction are good in parts. There are a few scenes like Madhu asking Bunny to get out are not justified. The climax part also comes a surprise and we feel that it is totally forced on us to end the movie.

Music is excellent by Yuvan Shankar Raja. All songs are well picturised on good creative themes. All songs are well choreographed as well.

Final Word: A feel good movie that you will not want to miss. After you watch this movie there will be no way you will come out unsatisfied. It has got all the elements of a good fun movie.

TS Rating: 3.75/5 Reviewer: Jeewan

This is a film everyone will enjoy watching. My childhood was so fun because I watched this film. It also good to see allu arjun then and now. He have changed a lot from then.

This movie bases itself on the tender love relationship between the hero and the heroine.Allu arjun comes to Hyderabad and starts working in pizza hut.He meets Genelia in a comic episode and then finally there is a confusion regarding a love letter which allows them to come closer to each h other. Genelia's father is a very popular politician who has rivalries as usual with quite a few people,major one being the new S.I. who comes to town.There is sequence which leads to incidents wherein the S.I. seeks revenge for the mistreatment meted out to him by the politician. The technical values of the movie are maintained very well as usual by the very talented Karunakaran. The songs are very very well shot and are simply a visual treat. The comedy part and the love relationship between the male and the female protagonists are depicted superbly.The mood of the movie changes from a very light hearted first half to a very sinister second half,wherein the hero constantly keeps facing newer and newer troubles.Manoj Bajpai acts in a very different role- to say a very comic one, which is quite different from his usual style and the director has excelled in getting good performance from this talented actor too,breaking all the language barriers if any. Go for the movie if are an ardent fan of any of the stars or even otherwise you will simply love it for the comedy and the songs.

Happy is an unofficial remake of Tami film azhagiya theeye. While azhagiya theeye was a simple and realistic romcom, happy is its commercial version with lots of masala added. Its the story of Bunny(Allu Arjun) and Madhumathi(Genelia). Bunny is a young boy from vizag, who came to study in Hyderabad and work parttime as a pizza delivery boy. Madhu is a medical student who is the daughter of a caste politician. Madhu's ambition is to study hard and become a doctor which was her dying mother's last wish. Both of them occasionally bump into each other and don't get well together. Things take a turn when Bunny mistakely puts a love letter meant for his friend's lover in madhu's book and her father finds that letter. Madhu's father hastily fixes madhu's wedding with DCP Arvind (Manoj Bajpai). Realising his mistake,bunny decides to cancel this marriage by meeting the DCP. But within seeing him, he frightenly says that he and Madhu are in love with each other. When Madhu too agrees to what bunny said DCP refuses the marriage. But afterwards, madhu's father comes with another alliance for her. After knowing this, DCP makes bunny and Madhu marry in register office. Bunny and Madhu mutually agree with this marriage temporarily. After marriage, DCP makes them stay in a flat together. Rest of the movie is how bunny and Madhu actually fall in love. Happy is a clear example of a well made commercial film. All the ingredients- comedy, romance, action, songs, dance, emotions were blended well in this. The villain track of Kishore you may feel as some separate story. But in the way that track is blended in the climax is brilliant. Allu arjun dance fights and performance(in climax) was considered his best at that time. Songs were very lovely. I am an Allu Arjun fan from Kerala. Though happy is allu arjuns underrated film in Telugu, in Kerala it is the most loved film of allu arjun. After the success of arya Malayalam dub, happy was dubbed in malayalam. It was a smash hit in Kerala. Happy not only strengthened allu arjun's fan following in Kerala, but lead to a slew of dubbed Telugu films in Kerala.

Happy is a film makes me always happy and also you too

I'm not a South Indian but I love this movie a lot, nice romantic love story of 2006. Love to watch in 2020 too. Every song of this Movie is refreshing and mind blowing. My Fav South Indian actress of all time is Genelia and Actors are Siddharth and Allu Arjun.
